Children and Youth With Asperger Syndrome: Strategies for Success in Inclusive Settings

Children and Youth With Asperger Syndrome: Strategies for Success in Inclusive Settings

by Brenda Smith Myles (Editor)

Synopsis

Designed for classroom teachers in inclusive settings, this book presents strategies for working with students with Asperger Syndrome.

AS is a disorder in the autism spectrum, and students with AS suffer from similar, though milder, symptoms as students with autism. It is often considered a social disability, though one of its most notable differences with autism is that most students with AS do develop verbal language skills.

The book provides over 50 research-based strategies for teachers, including guidance on transition planning and using technology, and tips for working with support staff.
